Sherlock Holmes games you can play in a browser

Every game here is built for the web: no installer, no account and nothing to buy. The 3D games run on WebGL in any modern browser, and the arcade games are drawn on the HTML5 canvas, so they work on phones as well as desktops.

Each game comes from somewhere in Conan Doyle's sixty stories. You can follow the Hound across Dartmoor, crack the dancing men, chase a hansom cab down Regent Street, or interrogate a line-up the way Lestrade never quite managed. When you want the real thing, the story pages have a summary and analysis of every case, and many have a game or analysis tool of their own.

After a battle of wits instead? The professional instruments live in Tools, and the Think Like Sherlock campaign turns them into a training course.
